Go on a birding tour in Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge with a professional ornithologist. Jeff Birek, the founder of Pteravia Conservation Birding Tours has worked with wild birds for over two decades and loves to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others. The Refuge is just outside of Denver and covers more than 15,000 acres of protected habitat providing a home for bison, deer, coyotes, and over 200 species of birds.

​

We will meet at the visitor center's free parking lot where I will loan out binoculars, explain their proper use, and familiarize you with some of the birds we are likely to encounter. I will drive you through the refuge making a few stops to look for birds among the lakes, grasslands, and wooded areas found in the southern portion of the Refuge. After spending some time outside the vehicle at each stop, we will then continue into the bison pasture. We are not allowed to leave the vehicle in this area but we can park often and search for wildlife from the car. I will return to the visitor center parking lot at the end of the tour.

​

Every tour at Pteravia is an adventure of connection between people, nature, and the world around us. Our passion goes beyond spotting and identifying birds, it involves immersing ourselves in nature and learning about birds’ ecology and behaviors to gain a deeper understanding of their lives. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced birder, Pteravia invites you to join us on an uncommon excursion where every bird is a moment of discovery and every adventure a celebration of nature’s vital beauty. If you have a specific goal (e.g. photography) or limited mobility, we can customize the tour to fit your ability, comfort, experience, and interest -- please just let me know!

​

Join Jeff for the birding trip of a lifetime!
